P T-TT:-i - 7)s "JUST DOG-GONE HAPPY Task force to be assembled to reorganize Union Board By Peter Avion Government Affairs Editor of The Signpost Dean of Student Life, Rick Sline, and Director of Student Activities, Judy Hurst, met Thursday with ASWSC Vice President of Academics and Administration, Dionne Hamilton, to discuss the formation of a new Union Board. "There have been lots of issues I wish we had a staff person as well as a group of students to deal with them. We really need to have the Union Board put together," Sline said. "There's no question it's a high need." According to Sline, there are many reasons for the lack of a Union Board for the last five years, least of which was the general lack of student interest in establishing and maintaining such a body.

When the Union Board Constitution was revised in 1984, there was another major reform in the works the ASWSC Student Senate. According to Sline, the Senate "won out." Sline also pointed out how the proposed membership of the Union Board as written in 1984 closely mirrors the current makeup of the ASWSC Student Senate. The issue of a Union Board is not new, however. According to Hurst, former ASWSC Vice President for Academics and Affairs, Jim Puffer, approached her last year wanting to get a Union Board in place, but "time was a factor and it was dropped again." Hurst agreed with Sline in saying the time was right for the coming of a Union Board.

Such a committee, Sline noted, would have more impact than a board committee. One major hurdle in the way of the new Union Board will be to find a Union director. "We're not organized in such a way that we have a J. Shepherd Ferrell Union director," said Sline. "You need a staff person who sees this as his or her project, to keep the students motivated." According to Sline, the Union director would not need to be a new full-time employee, nor would it require full-time attention. When asked whom he had in mind for the job, Sline said, "probably Judy Hurst in conjunction with Jolley Walker (head of custodial affairs for the Union Building) to spear-head (See UNION page 5) Army cracks down on R.O.T.C. cadets By Justin Scott Staff writer of 7he Signpost A major change within the Army R.

A re-occurring problem with Smoking ban at WSC proposed at meeting By Joyce Zabriskie Staff writer for The Signpost WSC non-traditional students committee is turning to the student body for the answer to a proposal by student Gary Price to ban cigarette sales on campus and eliminate all smoking in campus buildings.
